How new iPhone could pose a threat to the gaming industries.



It is amazing how mobile phone is changing the way we live very quickly. Apple recently announced two new iPhone models. High-end iPhone 5s and the lower cost iPhone 5c. The new iPhone 5s has 64bit A7 processor that no other smart phone manufacturer used before. It has the most processing power in both CPU speed and graphics. 

According to Apple, the iPhone 5s is 40 times faster than the original iPhone and twice as powerful as the former flagship iPhone 5. This is very good news for game developers because they have been demanding high processing power and the new 64bit A7 processor will open door for developers to invent advance mobile gaming. Game company like Chair Entertainment is enjoying the new features. Recently, Chair Entertainment released Infinity Blade III (the third game in the Infinity Blade series), and it is working very well on the new iPhone.

Sony and Nintendo need to worry about Apple.  At this time, it is hard to say there is a big threat because iPhone lacks mass storage capabilities, and it is not as powerful as console or PC game. It doesn’t give full experience like console or PC game for the users. 
The good thing about mobile game is it allows people to play game on the go. The bad thing is that Internet connection is not the same everywhere. Even with good Internet connection, it is difficult to play game. Battery life is also another issue. At this time, it is too early to say the new iPhone will take over the gaming industry but if Apple continue its innovation, it will impose threat on console industries because popularity of mobile game is increasing. Even right now, some users are spending more time playing game on their phone than console or PC.
In the long run, there is a chance for Apple to expand its market into the gaming industries territory.
